Nordstrom made the right decision in entering the Canadian marketplace with a single store, said Erik Nordstrom, one of the Nordstrom family members behind the retailer’s first international expansion.

The first Nordstrom in Canada is scheduled to open in Calgary’s Chinook Centre on Friday.

The first GTA stores are scheduled to open in 2016, at Toronto Eaton Centre and Yorkdale Shopping Centre. A Sherway Gardens location will open in 2017.
